BoFU-80 Microorganism Sample Preparation System

MALDI-TOF can accurately identify bacteria, fungi, etc. based on the specific mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of microorganisms. However, difficult-to-break microorganisms such as mycobacteria and filamentous fungi limit their detection rate. A large number of bacterial cells are required and the steps such as ethanol inactivation and formic acid-acetonitrile wall-breaking are required to extract proteins for detection. BoFU-80 uses a high-frequency confocal ultrasound system to efficiently concentrate acoustic energy into the sample to be processed, greatly improving the strain breaking efficiency and effectively improving the protein extraction rate of the strain. It can effectively improve the efficiency of Merieux, Bruker and Autobio etc. Detection rate of MALDI-TOF system. For pre-treatment of mycobacteria and filamentous fungi that are difficult to break, the ultrasonic process can be completed in just 60 seconds, and the entire process takes less than 5 minutes. The ultrasonic process is carried out in a closed tube, without the need to repeatedly open the lid, reducing operating steps and avoiding pollute.
